What did you learn in todays scrimmages?

From my position on the stands as an alumni, I have some insight about penalties. As in previous years, be sure to be ready to be dissapointed by penalty calls. There is a lot that the judges have to watch over this year and that was evident in their mix and match penalty calls. Often they'd call a penalty on one team for doing something that the other team does 30 seconds later and it slips by the ref watching a different robot. It's been the same every year so that'll come as no surprise to some, but this year penalties can be huge and hurt your score badly.

Another thing, it appeared that the robots with cameras found themselves attracted to a ref standing outside the field wearing a green sweater. Not the brightest choice in clothes selection for this game, i must say.

Otherwise, I got to say this is among one of the best games I've seen recently. I can really see the championship going up for grabs.
